Fig. 1.

Prebiotic effects after 55 days’ administration on the activity of vimba head-kidney immune cells: respiratory burst activity (A), potential killing activity (B), proliferation of T cells stimulated by concanavalin A (C) and proliferation of B cells stimulated by liposaccharide from E. coli (D). BS – 0.02% Leiber Beta-S–supplemented; MB – 0.20% Leiber Biolex MB40–supplemented; CE – 0.30% Leiber CeFi pro–supplemented; IN – 1.00% BENEO-Orafti Inulin Orafti GR–supplemented. All data are expressed as means ± standard deviation (SD); n = 6. Asterisks refer to statistically significant differences between Control and treatment groups: * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01
